Safety low shoes VM

VM brand: Czech quality with a focus on comfort and safety

2003, Czech Republic

The VM Footwear brand was founded in the Czech Republic and from its inception specializes exclusively in the development, design, and production of work and safety footwear. Behind the brand stands many years of know-how from experts in foot protection who decided to create a brand meeting high demands for quality, safety, and comfort during everyday work. Thanks to development and testing in the domestic environment, VM has become a strong player in the work footwear market not only in the Czech Republic but also in Europe.

A key element of VM’s philosophy is complete focus on footwear – the brand offers no other products than work shoes. All investments, research, and innovations are exclusively directed towards footwear, ensuring a high level of craftsmanship, emphasis on ergonomics, and continuous technological development. VM Footwear is dedicated to the feet of professionals – and that is why their shoes earn trust in demanding workplaces and daily work.

How to choose the right work low shoes?

Work low shoes are an ideal choice wherever foot protection is necessary, but ankle fixation is not required. Thanks to their low cut, they offer greater freedom of movement and better ventilation, which is especially appreciated indoors, in warehouses, logistics, handling goods, or during work in summer months.

We distinguish between work low shoes – without safety features such as composite toe caps or midsoles – and safety low shoes that include these protective elements. The choice depends on the risk level of the work environment. VM offers both variants, with footwear meeting EN ISO standards and available in classes S1, S1P, S2, and S3. The advantage of low shoes is their versatile use and combination of comfort with protection.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use

Higher comfort in warmer environments

Lighter and more breathable than ankle footwear

Didn’t like your low shoes? Try work sneakers or ankle footwear

Not everyone prefers the classic look of work low shoes. For those seeking more style without compromises in safety, VM work sneakers are an ideal solution. They combine a sporty look with certified protection according to EN ISO standards, while often being lighter, more breathable, and suitable for dynamic work. The VM range includes sneakers with composite toe caps, ESD protection, and modern design – perfect for warehouses, workshops, and offices.

On the other hand, if you need higher protection and ankle support, focus on VM ankle footwear. It provides better foot fixation, reduces the risk of sprains, and is popular especially on construction sites, in production, and in demanding outdoor environments. The high upper also protects against dust, water, and dirt, while increasing overall stability during movement.
